8, Make that now 8.
For those of you who watched the FSU-UF game on Saturday, you might have noticed the "Did You Know" stat on ABC referring to the true origin of Gatorade. Simply, the graphic said the drink was created by Florida State not Florida. My little brother texted me as soon as he saw it. I'd never heard that one before and was hesitant to believe it. Then Awful Announcing posted this.
Including: "The University of Florida is so concerned about this new revelation that they are supposed to issue a press release later today, perhaps to quell what has become the hottest new smack talk in Florida."
I'm pretty sure their reputation is safe. Gatorade belongs to them. That game was awful, as in 45-15 awful. And rumors have now surfaced about job security for Chuck Amato and Mickey Andrews. Swirling is that both Amato and Andrews will be gone after the bowl game. Again RUMORS but where there's smoke...
"Florida called a throw-back pass from Tim Tebow to tight end Aaron Hernandez in the waning seconds of the first quarter. The play called for Tebow to roll left, stop, turn and throw a pass back to the right to Hernandez, who the Gators hoped would be alone in the flat.
There was risk involved.
The ball floated through the rainy sky for about 30 yards, and if a Florida State defender was alert and nearby, the possibility of a long interception return for a touchdown existed.
However, it turned out perfectly for second-ranked Florida, as Hernandez caught the imperfectly thrown pass and scored untouched.
Hernandez said he wasn't surprised the play was successful.
"We knew we were going to run it because the past few weeks other teams used it against Florida State and it worked," Hernandez said. "We put it in our playbook and it worked."
I've always been a fan of Mickey Andrews, standing on the sidelines, smacking his gum, yelling at his boys. The defense is one part of the Noles game that hasn't completely fallen apart. But maybe it is time... Time for coach-in-waiting Jimbo Fisher to usher in a new staff consisting of the people he wants and needs to get this program back on track.
Or Florida can continue on with their win streak of 8 straight wins against FSU.
Along with that of course, Jimbo, must stay as coach to usher in his new staff.
Just another rumor out there floating around.

NBC must do story during Jan 1 hockey game of the Cubs curse spread to Hawks. John McDonough was 24 year exec with Cubs now is Hawks president. Hawks have missed the boat with the community and the Cubs curse has spread. ubs curse started not just since Sam Siannis couldn’t bring his goat to a Cub game, he was insulted for his Greek ethnicity by Cubs. The Cubs blew it with the Bartman ball and the Tribune Co., Tribune newspaper and WGN TV and radio ridiculed Bartman and profited and the baseball gods don’t like that. A lady died at Hawks game this year, her mother also died at Hawks game, that is a passing of the curse to this generation. Now McDonough has sealed the fate of the Hawks by orchestrating the Hawks game inside Wrigley Field. Hawks will not win the Stanley Cup until the Cubs win the World Series. Bob Costas and the head honchos at NBC must know about this, you underlings and minions must not conceal this story from him. Mr Costas has ties with Chicago journalism, he got a sports journalism award from the Chicago Athletic Association and he has the integrity not to chicken out from this story. We will wait and not tell other media about this story until NBC has chance to do it. Don’t blow it, you don’t want what happened to Tribune Co, the owner of the Cubs, the curse spread to them and they are in bankruptcy.
